Cost: 1000 gold

-[][Martial] Train a prehistoric animal for War.
With Tai Lung opening up the crystals and giving Frosting access to the creatures preserved within, it may be possible to train these ancient beasts as potent weapons of war.

DC: 95
Cost: 250 Gold

DC: 70
Cost: 9,000 Gold; Upkeep cost of 500 gold per turn

DC: 90
Cost: 10,000 Gold

- [][Martial] Setting Down Roots
The Commanders that have been assigned to the various cities in the North, along with their garrisons, have had several months to settle in and become familiar with the people.

Cost: 2,000 Gold, 500 Gold Upkeep per turn after

- [][Stewardship] Prospect for new resources
Genie set up Ababwa to be in an ideal spot, but just because the city is tapping into local resources doesn't mean that it's using all of the local resources available to their fullest potential. Have some people scout for untapped resources in the principality and protectorates.

DC: 65/85
Cost: 1250/2000 Gold

DC: 100
Cost: 4,000 Gold

- [][Stewardship] Going Greek!
The access to the Caspian Sea presents an opportunity to potentially make contact with new potential trade partners.

DC: 70
Cost: 3,000 Gold

- [][Stewardship] Always Under the Same Sky
With the complete map of the stars that Chiron and Will have compiled, selling these before anyone else starts circulating them could net a very tidy profit.

Gain 2,500 Gold income for sale of star maps to various parties.
DC: 65
Cost: 500 Gold, 150 Upkeep cost

- [][Stewardship] Expand trade district

DC: 35
Cost: 1500 gold

- [][Stewardship] Expand housing district
No one in Ababwa goes without a roof over their heads, that's one thing Genie made very sure of. But there are always people coming into the city; and some of them might wish to stay.

- [][Stewardship] Set up a Trade Agreement with the Kingdom of Lemuria

DC: 65
Cost: 1,000 Gold

- [][Stewardship] Set up a Trade Agreement with Maldonia.

DC: 65
Cost: 2500 Gold

- [][Stewardship] More Hands on the Wheels
Sinbad needs to start delegating soon; the massive amount of land that Ababwa has accumulated so quickly means that there are hundreds of different potential ways to make more money for the kingdom, but he's unable to stop and pursue them thanks to having to focus on other issues.
DC: 100
Cost: 2,000 Gold, 500 Gold Upkeep per turn after

- [][Diplomacy] Establish a diplomatic embassy in Agrabah
Agrabah is a meeting point for many of the trade routes on the African continent; and as such not only does it receive a panoply of trade goods, it also collects information from the rest of Africa. Having a diplomatic office there means that not only will that information reach Ababwa faster, but your diplomats will be able to jump on opportunities as they arrive.
DC: 25
Cost: 500 Gold

- [][Diplomacy] Establish a Diplomatic Embassy in Xiang-Wu
With the great relationship between Ababwa and Xiang-Wu at this point in time, setting up a diplomatic embassy would go a long way towards allowing Ababwan operations to move through the area faster, as well as allow for a quicker capitalization on any new developments in regards to the kingdom.
DC: 50
Cost: 2,500 Gold

-[][Diplomacy] Fit for a Prince(ss)?
The Maldonian Crown Prince and his wife are expecting their first child. Sending an appropriate gift to celebrate the occasion will be a good gesture on the part of Ababwa and show that we're looking to be friends. From the information that has leaked out of the kingdom, Princess Tiana is very fond of cooking and quite skilled as well as very practical. A large supply of hard-to-get spices and ingredients sourced through Xiang-Wu and India would likely make an appropriate gift while still being of actual use to the soon-to-expand family. Improves relationship between Maldonia and Ababwa
DC: 40
Cost: 500 Gold

- [][Diplomacy] Ever-Widening Web
Scherezade is hard-pressed these days to keep her finger on the pulse of all of the activities going on around Ababwa.

Cost: 1000 gold

- [][Diplomacy] Attempt to bring in nearby satraps as protectorates
Friends help friends, but sometimes a friend needs more help than you can give them as a friend. But if they joined you as a vassal they'd probably be able to get the help they needed.

DC: 75
Cost: 500

DC: 60
Cost: 2,000 Gold

- [][Intrigue] Cast your net out further, begin expanding your intelligence network

The Pirate Lords aren't the only forces on the seas. With the EITC now knocking at Ababwa's doors, it's probably time to begin infiltrating their ranks; one way or another, to find out for sure what their goals are, their practices, and if they're someone worth working with.

DC: 60/110
Cost: 1,200 Gold

- [][Intrigue] The Man In Red
Will and Chiron's tidings of this strange man in a red cloak are unsettling to hear about, and Haroud only glanced at the copy of the drawings they'd made before shutting the scroll tightly.

Send men out to find where the Man in Red is, and if possible, detain him for questioning.

A missive has arrived from the far north, from a man known as Viggo Grimborn. He is apparently in the business of capturing dragons, and was pointed in your direction by the Elite Global Hunstmen's Club. He's interested in possibly selling dragons to you rather than to Bludvist, and seems very interested in the concept of a menagerie. Frosting of course is over the moon at the idea.

DC: 75
Cost: 2,500 Gold

- [][Learning] He Ain't Heavy...
While Chiron is currently the only non-human you have as a citizen, there's no guarantee that that will remain the case.

DC: 80
Cost: 3,000 Gold

DC: 50
Cost: 1500 Gold

- [][Learning] Renewal and Rejuvenation

DC: 70
Cost: 6,500 Gold

-[][Red Rum

- [][Iago Personal] Lowest Common Denominator

Learning DC: 60

- [][Jose Personal] Exploring Ababwa
Ababwa is a fantastical city that Jose never even imagined. He wishes to familiarize himself with it's sights and sounds. Or perhaps merely to spend time in the sun with people around just to hear and see them.
Diplomacy DC: 30

- [][Jose Personal] learning Arabic
Jose is able to communicate thanks to his knowledge of languages, but it seems his grasp of Arabic isn't as comprehensive as anyone had thought. He'd been using quotes from books as a way to make his needs known, which Scherezade realized after speaking with him for a bit. Time to add another language to his lexicon!
Learning DC: 60

Tai Lung's name becomes known as someone looking to help.
Diplomacy DC: 60

Occult DC: 80

Increases Leah's learning score and allows her to create simple potions in the field to help heal herself and her allies, or harm her enemies.
Learning DC: 75

- [][Leah Personal] Holding Court
While Leah has been here for a year now, she's not really interacted with many people outside of Zummi, Cade, the Council, and Zummi's other acolytes. Perhaps she should remedy that, with so many new faces in the palace.
-- [] Which character

- [][Leah Personal] Time with Cade
Cade and Leah have been practically joined at the hip since they came to the kingdom (Not like that you perverts). But with the advent of her powers and all the time spent training in them, it feels like a rift has begun to open between them. Time to remedy that!
Diplomacy DC: 50

- [][Leah Personal] Speaking with Holly
Holly is such an interesting person! And so adorable to boot! Perhaps Leah can get a bit more information out of her in regards to where she came from and what brought her so far away?
Diplomacy DC: 75

-- [] Which task?

- [][Selous Personal] All Creatures Great and Small
The menagerie of Ababwa is an astounding place, truly ahead of its time even if it's also being used to house creatures for warfare. Even then they're cared for well and given comfortable enclosures and good food. Selous is curious to find out all of its inhabitants. And perhaps give this "Frosting" some tips on how to prepare enclosures for even more exotic beasts. Increases Selous' favorable opinion of Ababwa.
Learning DC: 50

- [][Selous Personal] Linguistic Exercises
While his Zulu and Swahili are excellent, Selous' Arabic is barely passable. Best to remedy this is he intends to stay here for any length of time, especially if he doesn't want to constantly need to ask for someone to interpret for him.
Diplomacy DC: 70

- [][Selous Personal] Chronicles of Danger
Selous has a unique insight into how things stand in the Indian Jungle as of right now. Committing it to paper before the memories totally fade would probably be a prudent course of action; who knows when that knowledge may come in handy?
Learning DC: 70

- [][Selous Personal] Restocking
Selous is eager to get out on the hunt once again, but before he does that, he'll need to resupply his store of ammunition. Thankfully he policed all of his brass, and he can see about contracting an alchemist to construct the necessary tools to create more bullets. After making damn sure that they won't spread the knowledge unless he either gives his leave, or is verifiably dead.
Martial DC: 90

- [][Selous Personal] Never Too Old
Selous is more than happy to lend a hand in order to feel like he's earning his keep. He can be assigned to a National Task
